I mowed a guy's yard for $30 and he paid with his company check. He then sent a 1099-MISC for that $30. I am a full-time student and have a W-2 from my main job. Can I still use the Free version of TurboTax online? If so, how do I enter that 1099-MISC income. Every time I choose "Other Income" then choose "1099-MISC", it says that I must purchase the Deluxe TurboTax for $60. Is there any other way to do it with the Free version and be correct since it is only $30 and I am not self-employed?

My suggestion is to enter the income as HOUSEHOLD EMPLOYEE so you report it but do not have to upgrade and there is no SE income. That is what it is although you got a 1099....
Go to Personal Income> I'll Choose What I'll work on > scroll to bottom select MISCELLANEOUS INCOME > Select Other income not already reported on a w-2 > Select YES > Enter the amount as wages received as a household employee.
Thank you!
